Left a slide is in my top 5 easy. Just kinda snuck up on me. Didnt jump out at me but over many listens it got better and better. Driving the View did that to me as well. I like Left a Slide alot more though.

Not sure of it's exact lyrical meaning... like other songs written by Jay. But this one is in my top 5.

for these lamentable exiles it's no surprise that it's a long slow fade.
"In writer-director Paul Schrader's Affliction, small-town New Hampshire looks like hell frozen over. It's a vast meat locker of a locale, except the dead meat is walking around instead of hung up on hooks. The affliction here is metaphoric, but it's literal too. That's the Schrader specialty, and it's also the stock-in-trade of Russell Banks, upon whose 1989 novel the film is scrupulously based. The confluence of Schrader and Banks is almost too perfect -- their dual oppressiveness wipes you out before the movie is ten minutes old.
Wade Whitehouse (Nick Nolte) is the chief afflictee of the piece"
